Julie Domel wraps up ‘Caprica’ swan song with a sharp holoband bow

I love the redone Battlestar Galactica, so naturally I gave the prequel Caprica a chance in the hopes of getting more of that gritty, theology-tinged science fiction Ronald Moore crafted so well.

Instead, I got a pretty but dreary series full of way too many irredeemable souls (living and virtual) and a heavy-handed, meandering sub-ish plot about monotheism that fractured the series like a gun blast to a V-Club avatar. So when Caprica got boxed, I figured just as well.

Thing is, Caprica is still BSG-related, so it’s at least worth seeing through to the end, right? Besides, doesn’t a series finale mean answers, resolution, clarity? Of course it does! But if you share my Caprica fatigue, you just can’t bear to watch that resolution unfold over five back-to-back episodes.

Luckily, BSG/Caprica mega-mind and Express-News news researcher Julie Domel did all the dirty viewing work for us. Check out her typically erudite, patently enlightening recap here.
